ScanBridge is a Material You app featuring scanning of documents, photos, and more over the AirScan/eSCL protocol. The eSCL protocol allows for driverless usage of network scanners and is supported by most modern scanners.
It is written in Kotlin and uses Jetpack Compose.
- Discover scanners supporting eSCL in your network
- Scan multiple pages and arrange them however you like
- Use your scanner to the maximum of its capabilities by adjusting settings like input source, resolution, duplex scan, scanning dimensions, and more
- Save your scans as PDF or images & directly share them with other apps
- Nice-looking Material You design
- Easy-to-use interface
You can download the latest release APK from the releases page. Here you can also find a nightly build. You can also build the app yourself by following the instructions below.
Alternatively, you will likely be able to find the app on the F-Droid app store in the near future.
eSCLKt only requires the internet permission to discover and use scanners in your network. No other permissions are required.
This project uses eSCLKt, a Kotlin library for using network-enabled scanners supporting the eSCL/AirScan protocol. Also, the Jetpack Compose library is used for the UI. Additionally, the Telephoto library is used for making the scanned pages preview zoomable. All other dependencies are listed in the build.gradle files.
Gradle is used as the build system. To build an APK, run the following command:
./gradlew assembleRelease
Afterwards, sign it with apksigner, which is provided by the Android SDK:
apksigner sign --ks path/to/keystore.jks --out path/to/signed.apk path/to/unsigned.apk
If you just want to build and test ScanBridge run the following command:
./gradlew build
You can ask questions, report bugs or submit feature requests on the GitHub issue tracker. Please provide a detailed description of the problem and if possible, a crash log, android logcats or stacktraces. In some cases the ScannerCapabilities.xml of your scanner can also be useful
